SHE'LL NEVER BE READY FOR HER CLOSE-UP

Although I'm really touched that so many of you have requested before and after pictures of moi with moi new glasses (and, I assume, the old glasses too), I have only one thing to say.....

No way.  No how.

Nope.  Sorry.  Not gonna do it.  In addition to being a hermit of the first order that breaks out into a full-on flop sweat over the thought of venturing beyond the end of my driveway, the idea that I would have to have my picture taken sends me right into a paralytic orbit of epic proportions.

So let me give you a mental image instead....

I'm 5'6" tall, weigh almost nothing, and have the musculature and body physique of a trained tri-athlete.

Oh, wait.  That can't be right.

Here.  Try this.....

Did you see the movie Sister Act?  Do you remember Sister Mary Patrick, the delightfully cheery nun played by award-winning actress Kathy Najimi? Well, add about a hundred pounds and lots and lots of unsightly facial hair and you've got me.

Good thing I've got those killer glasses....

Here's a little more progress on Laura J. Perin's Stained Glass Windows:



Hope you're having a splendid day and that you'll come again soon!

Woo Hoo!
Coni



P.S.  Stewey has no issues with having his picture taken.  Obviously.

  2. I had to laugh when I read you would break out into a full-on flop sweat at the thought of venturing past the end of your driveway. I know you do venture out to Michael's, but that's a place of comfort. I'm having knee replacement surgery in 2 weeks and mostly dread having to be around a lot of people at the rehab center. Like you, I just want to be home. Stained Glass Windows is going to be amazing, but, then all your work is amazing!

  5. Yep, I'd like to see the new glasses also. But it would be nice to see the new hair, maybe a peak over the porch bannister for us? I'm sure Aunt Chrissy would be pleased to take a pic. Or maybe Stewey the Magnificent could manage it for you. Hug Stewey for me!

  7. I don't think any pet has an issue with their picture being taken, unless of course it is a cat! I am always in awe of your needlepoint/canvas pieces. Someday, when I have more spare time, I will pick up that habit, I mean hobby! LOL

    By the way~~~ You've been tagged! Check out my blog for more.

  8. You must know the more you want to remain anonymous the more people will wonder, what does she really look like??? I doubt you have that much facial hair. :). Janet

  10. I think Stewy would model your new glasses, if asked nicely. Anytime a camera comes out, I head for the hills. The only pictures of me since puberty are the ones taken at my daughter's wedding. That is the ONLY day I made myself get in the pictures because I didn't my daughter to wonder if I had actually attended. I am only in the formal portraits (I asked the photographer to please keep me out of the lens whenever possible. (p.s. I shaved my chin for the event as I didn't want to be mistaken for her father)
